Long-term survival among 5-year survivors of adolescent and young adult cancer. Cancer 2020; 126:3708-3718. [PMID: 32484922 PMCID: PMC7381371 DOI: 10.1002/cncr.33003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2020] [Revised: 03/31/2020] [Accepted: 04/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although there are a growing number of survivors of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer, to the authors' knowledge the long-term overall survival (OS) patterns for AYA cancer survivors are underreported. The objective of the current study was to assess the long-term survival of AYA cancer survivors and identify factors associated with diminished long-term survival. METHODS The authors used The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center's tumor registry to identify 5-year survivors of cancer diagnosed as AYAs (ages 15-39 years) between the years 1970 and 2005, and who were alive 5 years after diagnosis. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to estimate OS rates over time, and Cox proportional hazards models were fitted to evaluate the association of covariates with OS. RESULTS The authors identified 16,728 individuals who were 5-year survivors of cancer and were diagnosed as AYAs with a median follow-up of 20.0 years. The 10-year, 20-year, and 25-year OS rates were 86% (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 85%-86%), 74% (95% CI, 73%-75%), and 68% (95% CI, 67%-68%), respectively, all of which were lower than the age-adjusted estimated survival rates of the general population. Long-term OS improved for AYAs diagnosed between 2000 and 2005 compared with those diagnosed in the prior decades (P < .001). Older age at the time of diagnosis, receipt of radiation, and diagnoses including central nervous system tumors and breast cancer each were associated with diminished long-term survival. CONCLUSIONS AYA cancer survivors have inferior long-term survival compared with the general population. Studies investigating the prevalence and types of late treatment effects and causes of death among AYA survivors are needed to more accurately identify AYAs who are at highest risk of early or late mortality.

Distribution of hospital care among pediatric and young adult Hodgkin lymphoma survivors-A population-based cohort study from Sweden and Denmark. Cancer Med 2019; 8:4918-4927. [PMID: 31264807 PMCID: PMC6712477 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.2363] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2019] [Revised: 05/09/2019] [Accepted: 05/28/2019] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
The burden of late effects among Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors treated according to contemporary protocols remains poorly characterized. We used nation‐wide registers to assess number of inpatient bed‐days and specialist outpatient visits among 1048 HL‐patients (<25 years, diagnosed 1990‐2010) and 5175 country‐, sex‐, and age‐matched comparators. We followed them for up to 24 years, with time‐dependent assessment of relapse status. International Classification of Diseases (ICD‐10) chapter‐specific hazard ratios (HRs) were assessed in Cox regression analyses, and nonparametric statistics described patterns of health‐care‐use. Relative to comparators, relapse‐free survivors were at increased risk of infections, diseases of the blood, endocrine, circulatory and respiratory systems, and unspecific symptoms, HRs ranging from 1.86 to 3.05. Relative to comparators, relapsed survivors had at statistically significantly increased risk of diseases reflecting practically all investigated disease‐chapters, HRs ranging from 1.60 to 18.7. Among relapse‐free survivors, 10% of the patients accounted for 80% of all hospital bed days, and 55% were never hospitalized during follow‐up. Among relapsed‐survivors, 10% of the patients accounted for 50% of the bed days, and only 24% were never hospitalized during follow‐up. In contrast, 10% of the comparators accounted for 90% of hospital bed days and 75% were never hospitalized. These findings challenge the impression of a uniformly distributed long‐term morbidity among all HL survivors and emphasize the need for early identification and attention to patients particularly susceptible to late effects, such as relapsed survivors.
